As far as I understand it, the recommended way to upgrade the Jenkins controller on Windows does not update the version number stored in the Windows registry. The Crowdstrike report is checking the wrong values if it is claiming that Jenkins is out of date.

FYI, I am looking at providing a script that can be run after the upgrade on the system to update the registry information for Jenkins from the upgraded war file. I don't think we can do this automatically, but I will look into that as a future enhancement.

 

Crowdstrike is probably looking at the registry values for the version, which is not updated when you upgrade the war using the Jenkins UI.
